Hmmm...10 minutes. That means it should take me about two hours. What I really should do is sell the freakin' tool box and leave this to people who know what the hell they are doing. I am amazed I haven't left a trail of parts in the road as I speed away ! Or, maybe I did. Thank you.
Exhaust pipe removal
I need to remove the front (bottom) exhaust pipe so I can adjust the travel of the rear brake lever (found a good post for this part)...however, removing the exhaust pipe seems a bit daunting of a task. Is there any easy way to take off the pipe(s)? Also, I guess I need to buy new crush washers? It really looks like it is going to be a bitch to tighten them back up, especially the bottom nuts, even if I do get them off. Any advice?

I wimped out and had a mechanic buddy disconnect the pipe, yup, was not bad and it was off and back on in about 30 minutes. Key was a 12mm socket that has the knuckle joint built into it (never saw one of these before, need to get a set). He also adjusted the brake pedal at the bottom of the master cylinder so it doesn't bottom out on the crash bar any more.
